Abstract
Oxynoemacheilus marmaraensis, new species, is restricted to the Susurluk River. It is distinguished from all the named species of Oxynoemacheilus in the North-western Anatolian by the flank with a vermiculate pattern and the presence of a suborbital groove in males, and no axillary lobe at base of pelvic fin. It also differs from the closest species, O. kentritensis, by 58 nucleotide substitution sites. Genetic distance is 10.49 % between O. marmaraensis and O. kentritensis. Phylogenetic analyses and species delineation tests (PTP and ASAP) support the validity of O. marmaraensis as distinct species. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
